Manny Fernandez has been traded to the Boston Bruins according to Michael Russo's blog at the Star Tribune. The Wild are rumored to be getting Petr Kalus in return.
This accomplishes a couple of things.
- Getting rid of Fernandez contract frees up enough cap space that the Wild are more likely to make a move on the free agent market.
- Backstrom is now the #1 goalie.
- In return, the Wild get Kalus, who scored 4 goals on 8 shots in his NHL stint. In general, it seems he's someone who will be an asset to the Wild in the coming years as a gritty forward with a bit of a scoring touch.
More on that and other Wild (and crazy) news tomorrow.
